# WorkOS Design System

## Overview

WorkOS describes itself as: “Developer APIs/SDKs for Enterprise Ready features like Single Sign-On, Directory Sync, Audit Logging, and more. Get started for free.” The interface is light, built on **White (#FFFFFF)** with **Deep Blue (#29363D)** text, and **Indigo (#6363F1)** as the main accent.

Type is set in **Untitled Sans**, with **IBM Plex Mono** for code. Headlines run large with tight negative tracking; body text is 16px. Depth comes from soft drop shadows. Corners are mostly 100px.

Measured from [workos.com](https://workos.com/) on November 4, 2026 at 1440×900 and 390×844 from 433 rendered elements. Values are computed styles from the live page, not the original source files.

## Colors

The palette has 12 roles, plus gradient stops #25DFF9, #21FF94, #A683FF, #7772E5.

- **White (#FFFFFF):** Page background, seen 12 times. Token `background`, CSS `--um-input-bg-active`.
- **Deep Blue (#29363D):** Primary text and headings, seen 46 times. Token `on-surface`, CSS `--light-1`.
- **Indigo (#656B8A):** Secondary text, seen 38 times. Token `on-surface-variant`, CSS `--foreground-light-2`.

## Layout

Spacing is mostly on a 4px grid (71% of measured values), with some off-grid steps. Match the measured scale rather than rounding everything.

- **Scale:** xs 2px, sm 8px, md 12px, lg 22px, xl 64px.
- **Sections:** 120px vertical padding between major sections.
- **Gaps:** 12px is the most common gap in flex and grid layouts.
- **Breakpoints:** 479px, 480px, 767px, 768px, 991px, 992px, 1090px, 1100px, 1140px.

## Elevation & Depth

Raised elements use soft drop shadows. The most used recipes:

- `rgba(17, 7, 53, 0.05) 0px 51px 78px 0px, rgba(17, 7, 53, 0.035) 0px 21.3066px 35.4944px 0px, rgba(17, 7, 53, 0.03) 0px 11.3915px 18.9418px 0px, rgba(17, 7, 53, 0.024) 0px 6.38599px 9.8801px 0px, rgba(17, 7, 53, 0.02) 0px 3.39155px 4.58665px 0px, rgba(17, 7, 53, 0.016) 0px 1.4113px 1.55262px 0px, rgba(41, 56, 78, 0.05) 0px 1px 0px 0px inset`
- `rgba(23, 6, 100, 0.035) 0px 24px 22px 0px, rgba(23, 6, 100, 0.055) 0px 8.5846px 8.03036px 0px, rgba(23, 6, 100, 0.067) 0px 4.77692px 3.89859px 0px, rgba(23, 6, 100, 0.082) 0px 2.63479px 1.91116px 0px, rgba(23, 6, 100, 0.12) 0px 1.15891px 0.755676px 0px`
- `rgba(3, 3, 6, 0.07) 0px 100px 80px 0px, rgba(3, 3, 6, 0.05) 0px 41.7776px 33.4221px 0px, rgba(3, 3, 6, 0.043) 0px 22.3363px 17.869px 0px, rgba(3, 3, 6, 0.035) 0px 12.5216px 10.0172px 0px, rgba(3, 3, 6, 0.027) 0px 6.6501px 5.32008px 0px, rgba(3, 3, 6, 0.02) 0px 2.76726px 2.21381px 0px`

## Shapes

Most elements use 100px corners. Measured radii, most used first:

- **lg (100px):** 160 elements.
- **md (8px):** 56 elements.
- **full (9999px):** 40 elements.
- **sm (4px):** 12 elements.

## Components

Measured from the rendered page. Token values reference the tokens above.

- **button-primary (“Get started”):** #6363F1 fill, #FFFFFF text, 16px/500, 100px radius, padding 12px 24px, shadow `rgba(23, 6, 100, 0.035) 0px 24px 22px 0px, rgba(23, 6, 100, 0.055) 0px 8.5846px 8.03036px 0px, rgba(23, 6, 100, 0.067) 0px 4.77692px 3.89859px 0px, rgba(23, 6, 100, 0.082) 0px 2.63479px 1.91116px 0px, rgba(23, 6, 100, 0.12) 0px 1.15891px 0.755676px 0px`.
- **button-primary-hover:** background #7777F3, text #FFFFFF on hover.
- **button-outline (“Passport”):** #F9F9FB fill, #29363D text, 16px/500, 8px radius, padding 8px 20px 8px 8px, border 1px solid #E7E8EC.
- **button-outline-hover:** background #F3F4F7, text #29363D on hover.
- **button-ghost (“Sign in”):** transparent fill, #6363F1 text, 14px/400, 100px radius, padding 9.5px 20px, border 1px solid #E8EAED.
- **card:** #181B39 fill, #FFFFFF text, 16px/400, 18px radius, padding 0px, shadow `rgba(3, 3, 6, 0.07) 0px 100px 80px 0px, rgba(3, 3, 6, 0.05) 0px 41.7776px 33.4221px 0px, rgba(3, 3, 6, 0.043) 0px 22.3363px 17.869px 0px, rgba(3, 3, 6, 0.035) 0px 12.5216px 10.0172px 0px, rgba(3, 3, 6, 0.027) 0px 6.6501px 5.32008px 0px, rgba(3, 3, 6, 0.02) 0px 2.76726px 2.21381px 0px`.
- **link:** transparent fill, #6363F1 text, padding 0px.

## Do's and Don'ts

- Do use #FFFFFF for the page and lift surfaces in small steps: #F9F9FB.
- Do keep text in 3 levels: #29363D, #656B8A, #717AA8.
- Do reserve #6363F1 for primary actions and key highlights.
- Do set headlines in Untitled Sans with tight tracking (-0.07em).
- Do reuse the measured spacing steps (8px, 12px, 22px).
- Do use 100px corners on most elements; larger surfaces also use 8px and 4px.
- Don't use #717AA8 for body text; it reaches 4.16:1 on #FFFFFF. Keep it for large text or metadata.
- Don't introduce new font families beyond Untitled Sans and IBM Plex Mono.
- Don't use #6363F1 for large backgrounds or body text.
- Don't make interface transitions slower than 0.2s.

## Motion

Interface transitions are quick: 0.2s, 0.15s.

- **Easing:** `ease`.
